Verdict: Fendt 312 Vario vs Fendt Favorit 12S

The Fendt 312 Vario and the Fendt Favorit 12S are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Fendt Favorit 12S leads on rated power with 110 hp against 109 hp. Fendt 312 Vario is the lighter machine (4,350 kg vs 4,400 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
